It really makes no sense to me they have a great pool then Ill just see rangers fans trading them for like riley smith and ben chiarot just because a 2 year playoff push is a possibilty

Also, why is laf being traded in gms now? for like practically nothing the dude is buried on the 3rd line no sh** he's gonna have sub-par numbers if u never play the guy but that doesn't mean he's worthless and should be traded for nothing he was the 1st ovr pick like only a year ago and is still 20 years old

Because most of the Rangers fan base is clueless and do not know how to properly evaluate prospects. Also we tend to be short-sighted and want shiny new toys.
